Chapter 688 - Only Level 5 Can Defeat Me! (1/2)

“Your Highness, I still do not understand the reason you have summoned me,” said Jiang Fei.

“I’m about to get there. Tell me, are the Merfolks ready to assist us?” said the King.

“Soon, Your Highness. The Merfolks had invaded the borders of the Holy City. I can only assume it would take another one or two days,” said Jiang Fei.

“Granted. From here on out, there’s no need for you to help the Merfolk anymore. I need you in the Demon Flame Fortress. I have Ivan ready with his army,” said King Augustus.

“Isn’t it too soon for war?” said Jiang Fei.

“Not yet. Go there, Ivan might need your help,” said Augustus.

Ding! Nephilim King Augustus has a Story Quest for you: Horns of War! Will you accept it?

Jiang Fei knew immediately that he would not be able to deny the quest since it was a Story Quest. Then again, since where did Jiang Fei ever denied a quest? Following through a Story Quest would reward Jiang Fei with luxurious items. On the other hand, failing the quest, or refusing it would result in dire consequences.

“Very well,” said Jiang Fei.

Ding! Quest Updated!

Quest Name: Horns of War

Quest Objective: King Augustus wants you to report to Marshal Ivan.

Quest Reward: 100,000 Experience Points, 2 Gold Coins

The first quest of the linear quest line was just a meet and greet. What would come after the first few quests should be tougher and better.

After accepting the quest, Jiang Fei remained with the Nephilim King to talk about the war and his future decisions. It was nothing much but an attempt to build a better relationship between the King and him. It was always better to have someone on the high table to pull strings. Unbeknownst to Jiang Fei, the real reason why Augustus had called for Jiang Fei at such a short notice was the fear of Poseidon reeling him over to the Merfolk side.

Jiang Fei left the royal chambers but before he could leave, the Elder Prince, Otis came over to talk with Akatziris. His real motive was similar to Augustus. He wanted to befriend Jiang Fei. At this point, Jiang Fei had noticed that since the day Ou Yezi declared Jiang Fei as his one true successor, more NPCs from the Nephilim race had paid attention to him.

After Otis was done talking with Jiang Fei and Akatziris, Jiang Fei made his way back to the Demon Flame Fortress. Right then, he realized that he had just wasted the rest of the day in the Nephilim King’s Palace.

After Jiang Fei was out of the game, he realized that Ariel was on top of him, resting her head on his chest. At first, Jiang Fei wanted to remain still to allow Ariel to sleep a little more but incidentally, he noticed Arie’s nose and eyelids moving. Even her hands and feet were fidgeting as if she was happy—much like a happy little puppy. Jiang Fei realized that Ariel was not asleep, she was just pretending to be in order to spend more time making intimate physical contact with him!

A naughty thought came to his mind and he lifted the girl up and smacked her bum!

Piak!

“Owieee! Darling! You meanie! Is that your way of waking up a lady?” cried Ariel as she giggled and buried her head into Jiang Fei’s chest.

“Heh. Next time, if you want to cuddle, just tell me directly,” said Jiang Fei.

“Now, let’s go home.”

“Where is that?” said Ariel.
